NI ROCKS Recommends "Daydreamin" by STARSICK SYSTEM

Tuesday, 31 March 2015 20:39 | Written by NI ROCKS | |

“Daydreamin’” is the debut album from Italian band Starsick System and it is released on 14th April by Bakerteam Records. This is another great example of finding a band that I hadn’t known about previously and really liking what I heard. It’s really the kind of release that the “NI Rocks Recommends” posts were initially aimed at – great music being released by bands that many people might never get to listen to. Starsick System were formed in 2012, with the members all having previous experience in other bands.

SPIKE and his merry band of troubadours churn out excellence so consistently that when they release a new album it seems a given that it will be another stellar platter. And, that's the case with the latest offering from The Quireboys 'St Cecilia and the Gypsy Soul'.

ALBUM REVIEW: Therapy? go back in time to catch up on Disquiet with melodies and menace

Wednesday, 25 March 2015 18:44 | Written by Jonny | |

NORTHERN Ireland's Therapy? were once described by Kerrang! (when it still was a metal mag) as the UK's potential version of Metallica. With 'Troublegum' bothering charts across the globe the potential was certainly there.

But Therapy? were happier being the awkward kids and released a selection of densely packed albums

ALBUM REVIEW: Roth rises to reinvent classic Scorpions

Tuesday, 24 March 2015 18:37 | Written by Jonny | |

ULI Jon Roth is something of a guitar afficianado for guitar afficianados. Back in the formative years of Scorpions Uli Jon Roth created textures before the Scorps gave way to the hair metal of the mid-80s (not that was necessarily a bad thing).

NI ROCKS Recommends "The Quiet Monster" by GLOOMBALL

Sunday, 22 March 2015 21:44 | Written by NI ROCKS | |

“The Quiet Monster” is the second album from German band Gloomball and it is released through Steamhammer/SPV on 30th March. Their debut album “The Distance” was released in 2013 and still features on my iPod playlists. Unfortunately though the original MP3 files where among many casualties when my hard-drive crashed during 2013 – hence why they haven’t featured on the NI Rocks Shows recently! Thankfully the absence of Gloomball from our shows can now be rectified by the release of “The Quiet Monster”, which if anything is an improvement on the debut album. The track “Monster” was included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 20th March.

NI Rocks: Dave - I played "Roadhouse Blues" on the NI Rocks A-Z Show - it finished at 8pm. Will be repeated tomorrow morning. Or its available from the On Demand Player.

Dave-Voodoo: A fantastic thanks

LemmyLegend: Love the music but the stream lacks artist and song info. I like to find stuff I haven't heard before and then go check out the album. Any chance this can be rectified? All the stream shows is Nik - Nikbotb

NI Rocks: Hey LemmyLegend. Yeah the shows just give the title unfortunately. On some shows the hosts will introduce the tracks but not all. Nik's show featured Trucker Diablo, Black Stone Cherry and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The new Trucker Diablo album is "Songs of Iron"

Doccardy: Mike Jeffrey had actually selected a decent few songs in that lot. Perhaps he should be given a permanent slot or get him in as a guest to talk shite between tracks....now that would be interesting.
